Psychologists may also engage in specific skills training featuring problem solving skills, anger management and communication skills.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals diagnosed with a mental health disorder may be eligible for a rebate for up to 10 individual counselling sessions, and up to 10 group therapy sessions, in a calendar year.
